Chevrolet knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Silverado 1500 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 problems later.

Bring your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check.

Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Silverado 1500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years).

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Silverado 1500 stranded. Your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
